distributed compiling (distcc)
by fast_rizwaan on Sunday 11/Sep/2005, @11:04

Is it possible to build using distccd with scons like "unsermake -p -j4 CXX=distcc"

scons supports parallel compilation natively (and even does a much better job than automake, about even with unsermake). scons also includes support for notating targets that produce files as a side effect, which can break parallel builds.

As far as overriding CXX that way, I'm not sure, it's easier just to put distcc's gcc symlinks first in the PATH anyways though.

Yeah, if bksys is anything like scons. (Im talking about scons here because I've been using it for a while now.)

In the toplevel SConstruct file, you can say

env = Environment(
CXX = 'distcc g++',
....
)
or:
env.Replace(CXX = 'distcc g++') # ccache distcc g++ works as well is you don't wnat to use scons caching.

when running scons say: scons -j N where N is the number of jobs you want to use.
It should work better then make -j N
